Abstract
The present application provides a method and apparatus for determining a cell activation delay. The method comprises: according to whether the downlink spatial domain filter of the downlink signal of a cell to be activated and that of the downlink signal of an activated cell are identical or different, a terminal device or a network device can separately determine an activation delay corresponding to the cell to be activated. Therefore, the terminal device transmits CSI within the activation delay, the network device receives the CSI within the activation delay, and according to whether the CSI is received, it is determined whether the cell to be activated is successfully activated. That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device and the network device can determine a reasonable activation delay, thereby avoiding that the terminal device and the network device wrongly determine whether the cell is successfully activated because the activation delay is too long or too short, and further improving the success rate of cell activation on the premise of ensuring the power consumption overhead of the device.

在新空口(new radio,NR)中,终端设备在开机后会在主小区(primary cell,PCell)进行初始接入。之后,网络设备可以通过配置信令或资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)配置携带辅小区(secondary cell,SCell)的配置参数,以为该终端设备添加SCell。In a new radio (NR), a terminal device will perform initial access in a primary cell (PCell) after it is turned on. Afterwards, the network device may carry configuration parameters of the secondary cell (secondary cell, SCell) through configuration signaling or resource control (radio resource control, RRC) configuration to add an SCell for the terminal device.
具体地,网络设备可以基于内部算法动态决策为用户配置SCell,并通过媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)-控制元素(control element,CE)信令下发SCell激活信令给终端设备。终端设备根据该激活信令进行激活相应地SCell,之后在相应的时间窗内检测同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)信号,实现SCell与终端设备的下行时频域同步。终端设备根据该SSB信号确定信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI),并确定是否向网络设备上报该CSI。网络设备若在该时间窗内收到该CSI,则认为终端设备成功完成该SCell的激活。网络设备若在该时间窗内未收到该CSI,则认为该SCell激活失败。Specifically, the network device may dynamically decide to configure an SCell for the user based on an internal algorithm, and issue SCell activation signaling to the terminal device through media access control (MAC)-control element (CE) signaling. The terminal device activates the corresponding SCell according to the activation signaling, and then detects a synchronization signal block (synchronization signal block, SSB) signal in a corresponding time window to realize the downlink time-frequency domain synchronization between the SCell and the terminal device. The terminal device determines channel state information (CSI) according to the SSB signal, and determines whether to report the CSI to the network device. If the network device receives the CSI within the time window, it is considered that the terminal device has successfully completed the activation of the SCell. If the network device does not receive the CSI within the time window, it is considered that the SCell activation has failed.
传统方案中,终端设备和网络设备之间的时间窗的时间长度(也可以称为“激活时延”)可以是固定的。但是,随着终端设备和网络设备对小区的激活成功率和功耗开销的要求越来越高,则如何设定激活时延的大小亟待解决。In the traditional solution, the time length of the time window between the terminal device and the network device (also referred to as "activation delay") can be fixed. However, as terminal equipment and network equipment have higher and higher requirements on the activation success rate and power consumption of the cell, how to set the size of the activation delay needs to be solved urgently.

下面将结合附图,对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。The technical solution in this application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.
下面将本申请涉及到的术语进行详细的介绍:The following describes the terms involved in this application in detail:
1、波束(beam):1. Beam:
波束是一种通信资源,不同的波束可以认为是不同的通信资源。不同的波束可以发送相同的信息,也可以发送不同的信息。波束可以对应时域资源、空间资源和频域资源中的至少一项。A beam is a communication resource, and different beams can be considered as different communication resources. Different beams can send the same information or different information. The beam may correspond to at least one of time domain resources, space resources, and frequency domain resources.
可选地,具有相同或者类型的通信特征的多个波束可以视为一个波束,一个波束内可以包括一个或多个天线端口,用于传输数据信道,控制信道和探测信号等。例如,发送波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布;接收波束可以是指从天线上接收到的无线信号在空间不同方向上的信号强度分布。Optionally, multiple beams with the same or type of communication characteristics may be regarded as one beam, and one beam may include one or more antenna ports for transmitting data channels, control channels, and sounding signals. For example, the transmitting beam may refer to the distribution of signal strength in different directions in space after a signal is transmitted through the antenna; the receiving beam may refer to the signal strength distribution of the wireless signal received from the antenna in different directions in space.
具体地,波束可以是宽波束,也可以是窄波束,还可以是其他类型的波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束成型技术也可以是其他技术手段,本申请对此不进行限定。其中,波束成型技术(beamforming)可以是通过在空间上朝向特定的方向来实现更高的天线阵列增 益。此外,波束可以分为网络设备的发送波束和接收波束,与终端设备的发送波束和接收波束。网络设备的发送波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息,网络设备的接收波束用于描述网络设备接收侧波束赋形信息。终端设备的发送波束用于描述终端设备发送侧波束赋形信息,终端设备的接收波束用于描述接收侧波束赋形信息。Specifically, the beam may be a wide beam, a narrow beam, or other types of beams. The beam forming technology may be beamforming technology or other technical means, which is not limited in this application. Among them, the beamforming technology (beamforming) can achieve higher antenna array gain by oriented in a specific direction in space. In addition, beams can be divided into transmitting beams and receiving beams of network equipment, and transmitting beams and receiving beams of terminal equipment. The transmitting beam of the network device is used to describe the beamforming information on the receiving side of the network device, and the receiving beam of the network device is used to describe the beamforming information on the receiving side of the network device. The transmitting beam of the terminal device is used to describe the beamforming information on the transmitting side of the terminal device, and the receiving beam of the terminal device is used to describe the beamforming information on the receiving side.
更具体地,波束成型技术包括数字波束成型技术、模拟波束成型技术和混合数字模拟波束成型技术。其中,模拟波束成型技术可以通过射频实现,例如,一个射频链路(RF chain)通过移相器来调整相位,从而控制模拟波束方向的改变。因此,一个RF chain在同一时刻只能打出一个模拟波束。此外,基于模拟波束的通信,需要发送端和接收端的波束对齐,否则无法正常传输信号。More specifically, beamforming technology includes digital beamforming technology, analog beamforming technology, and hybrid digital-analog beamforming technology. Among them, the analog beamforming technology can be realized by radio frequency. For example, a radio frequency link (RF chain) adjusts the phase through a phase shifter, thereby controlling the change of the analog beam direction. Therefore, an RF chain can only shoot one analog beam at the same time. In addition, communication based on analog beams requires the beams of the transmitter and receiver to be aligned, otherwise signals cannot be transmitted normally.
应理解,形成一个波束的一个或多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。It should be understood that one or more antenna ports forming a beam may also be regarded as an antenna port set.
还应理解,波束还可以通过空间滤波器(spatial filter)或空间传输滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)体现,换句话说,波束也可以称为“空间滤波器”,其中发射波束称为“空间发射滤波器”,接收波束称为“空间接收滤波器”或“下行空间滤波器”。网络设备的接收波束或终端设备的发送波束还可以称为“上行空间滤波器”,网络设备的发送波束或终端设备的接收波束还可以称为“下行空间滤波器”。最优的N个波束对(beam pair link,BPL)(一个BPL包括一个网络设备的发射波束和一个终端设备的接收波束,或者,一个BPL包括一个终端设备的发射波束和一个网络设备的接收波束)的选择。用于终端设备基于网络设备的波束扫描实现对网络设备的发射波束和/或终端设备的接收波束的选择,以及,网络设备基于终端设备的波束扫描实现对终端设备的发射波束和/或网络设备的接收波束的选择。It should also be understood that the beam can also be embodied by a spatial filter or a spatial domain transmission filter. In other words, the beam can also be referred to as a "spatial filter", and the transmitting beam is referred to as a "spatial filter". Transmitting filter" and receiving beam are called "spatial receive filter" or "downstream spatial filter". The receiving beam of a network device or the transmitting beam of a terminal device may also be referred to as an "uplink spatial filter", and the transmitting beam of a network device or a receiving beam of a terminal device may also be referred to as a "downlink spatial filter". Optimal N beam pair links (BPL) (a BPL includes a transmit beam of a network device and a receive beam of a terminal device, or a BPL includes a transmit beam of a terminal device and a receive beam of a network device )s Choice. Used for terminal equipment based on the beam scanning of the network equipment to realize the selection of the transmission beam of the network equipment and/or the receiving beam of the terminal equipment, and the network equipment realizes the transmission beam and/or network equipment of the terminal equipment based on the beam scanning of the terminal equipment The choice of receiving beam.
具体地,发射波束可以为基站发射波束,也可以为终端设备发射波束。当该发射波束为基站发射波束时,基站通过不同的发射波束向用户设备(user equipment,UE)发送参考信号,UE通过同一个接收波束来接收基站通过不同的发射波束发送的参考信号,并基于接收信号确定基站的最优发射波束,然后将基站的最优发射波束反馈给基站,以便于基站对发射波束进行更新。当该发射波束为终端设备发射波束时,UE通过不同的发射波束向基站发送参考信号,基站通过同一个接收波束来接收UE通过不同的发射波束发送的参考信号,并基于接收信号确定UE的最优发射波束,然后将UE的最优发射波束反馈给UE,以便于UE对发射波束进行更新。其中,上述通过不同的发射波束发送参考信号的过程可以称为波束扫描,基于接收信号确定最优发射波束的过程可以称为波束匹配。Specifically, the transmitting beam may be a base station transmitting beam, or a terminal device transmitting beam. When the transmit beam is a base station transmit beam, the base station transmits reference signals to user equipment (UE) through different transmit beams, and the UE uses the same receive beam to receive the reference signals sent by the base station through different transmit beams, based on The received signal determines the optimal transmit beam of the base station, and then feeds back the optimal transmit beam of the base station to the base station, so that the base station can update the transmit beam. When the transmitting beam is a terminal device transmitting beam, the UE transmits reference signals to the base station through different transmitting beams, and the base station uses the same receiving beam to receive the reference signals sent by the UE through different transmitting beams, and determines the UE's maximum value based on the received signal. Optimal transmit beam, and then feed back the UE's optimal transmit beam to the UE, so that the UE can update the transmit beam. Among them, the foregoing process of transmitting reference signals through different transmit beams may be referred to as beam scanning, and the process of determining the optimal transmit beam based on the received signal may be referred to as beam matching.
接收波束可以为基站接收波束,也可以为终端设备接收波束。当该接收波束为基站接收波束时,UE通过同一个发射波束向基站发送参考信号,基站采用不同的接收波束接收UE发送的参考信号,然后基于接收信号确定基站的最优接收波束,以对基站的接收波束进行更新。当该接收波束为UE的接收波束时,基站通过同一个发射波束向UE发送参考信号,UE采用不同的接收波束接收基站发送的参考信号,然后基于接收信号确定UE的最优接收波束,以对UE的接收波束进行更新。The receiving beam may be a base station receiving beam or a terminal device receiving beam. When the receiving beam is a base station receiving beam, the UE sends a reference signal to the base station through the same transmitting beam. The base station uses different receiving beams to receive the reference signal sent by the UE, and then determines the optimal receiving beam of the base station based on the received signal, so as to The receive beam is updated. When the receiving beam is the receiving beam of the UE, the base station sends the reference signal to the UE through the same transmitting beam, and the UE uses different receiving beams to receive the reference signal sent by the base station, and then determines the UE's optimal receiving beam based on the received signal to correct The UE's receive beam is updated.
需要说明的是,对于下行波束的训练,网络设备会配置参考信号资源集合的类型用于波束训练,当为参考信号资源集合配置的重复参数为“on”时,终端设备假设该参考信号资源集合中的参考信号使用相同的下行空间滤波器传输,也即使用相同的发送波束传输;此时,一般情况下,终端设备会使用不同的接收波束接收上述参考信号资源集合中的参考信 号,训练出终端设备最好的接收波束,可选地,终端设备可以上报UE测量的最好的N个参考信号的信道质量。当为参考信号资源集合配置的重复参数为“off”时,终端设备不会假设该参考信号资源集合中的参考信号使用相同的下行空间滤波器传输,也即不假设网络设备使用相同的发送波束传输参考信号,此时终端设备通过测量该集合中参考信号的信道质量在该资源集合中选出最好的N个波束反馈给网络设备,一般情况下,此时,终端设备在此过程中使用相同的接收波束。It should be noted that for downlink beam training, the network device will configure the type of reference signal resource set for beam training. When the repetition parameter configured for the reference signal resource set is "on", the terminal device assumes the reference signal resource set The reference signal in the reference signal is transmitted using the same downlink spatial filter, that is, using the same transmit beam transmission; in this case, in general, the terminal device will use different receive beams to receive the reference signal in the above reference signal resource set, and train The best receiving beam of the terminal device. Optionally, the terminal device can report the channel quality of the best N reference signals measured by the UE. When the repetition parameter configured for the reference signal resource set is "off", the terminal device does not assume that the reference signals in the reference signal resource set use the same downlink spatial filter for transmission, that is, it does not assume that the network device uses the same transmit beam Transmit the reference signal. At this time, the terminal equipment selects the best N beams in the resource set by measuring the channel quality of the reference signal in the set and feeds it back to the network equipment. Generally, at this time, the terminal equipment uses it in this process The same receiving beam.
2、波束成型技术(beamforming):2. Beamforming technology (beamforming):
波束成型技术可以通过在空间上朝向特定的方向来实现更高的天线阵列增益。模拟波束成型,可以通过射频实现。例如,一个射频链路(RF chain)通过移相器来调整相位,从而控制模拟波束方向的改变。因此,一个RF chain在同一时刻只能打出一个模拟波束。Beamforming technology can achieve higher antenna array gain by oriented in a specific direction in space. Analog beamforming can be achieved through radio frequency. For example, a radio frequency link (RF chain) adjusts the phase through a phase shifter to control the change of the analog beam direction. Therefore, an RF chain can only shoot one analog beam at the same time.

The beam may also be called a spatial transmission filter, the transmit beam may also be called a spatial transmit filter, and the receive beam may also be called a spatial receive filter. The beam indication information may also be embodied as a transmission configuration index (TCI). The TCI may include various parameters, such as cell number, bandwidth part number, reference signal identifier, synchronization signal block identifier, QCL type, and so on. Among them, the parity relationship of quasi-co-location (QCL) is used to indicate that multiple resources have one or more identical or similar communication characteristics. For multiple resources with parity relationship, the same or Similar communication configuration. For example, if two antenna ports have a co-location relationship, then the large-scale characteristics of the channel transmitting one symbol on one port can be inferred from the large-scale characteristics of the channel transmitting one symbol on the other port. Large-scale characteristics can include: delay spread, average delay, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, receiving parameters, terminal device receiving beam number, transmitting/receiving channel correlation, receiving angle of arrival, receiver antenna Spatial correlation, main angle of arrival (angel-of-arrival, AoA), average angle of arrival, expansion of AoA, etc. Spatial QCL can be considered as a type of QCL. There are two angles to understand spatial: from the sending end or from the receiving end. From the perspective of the transmitting end, if the two antenna ports are quasi-co-located in the spatial domain, it means that the corresponding beam directions of the two antenna ports are spatially consistent, that is, the spatial filters are the same. From the perspective of the receiving end, if the two antenna ports are spatially quasi-co-located, it means that the receiving end can receive the signals sent by the two antenna ports in the same beam direction, that is, the reception parameter QCL.
5、QCL:5. QCL:
同位关系用于表示多个资源之间具有一个或多个相同或者相类似的通信特征,对于具有同位关系的多个资源,可以采用相同或者类似的通信配置。例如,如果两个天线端口具有同位关系,那么一个端口传送一个符号的信道大尺度特性可以从另一个端口传送一个符号的信道大尺度特性推断出来。大尺度特性可以包括:延迟扩展,平均延迟,多普勒扩展,多普勒频移,平均增益,接收参数,终端设备接收波束编号,发射/接收信道相关性,接收到达角,接收机天线的空间相关性,主到达角(Angel-of-Arrival,AoA),平均到达角,AoA的扩展等。The co-location relationship is used to indicate that multiple resources have one or more identical or similar communication characteristics. For multiple resources with a co-location relationship, the same or similar communication configuration can be adopted. For example, if two antenna ports have a co-location relationship, then the large-scale characteristics of the channel transmitting one symbol on one port can be inferred from the large-scale characteristics of the channel transmitting one symbol on the other port. Large-scale characteristics can include: delay spread, average delay, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, receiving parameters, terminal device receiving beam number, transmitting/receiving channel correlation, receiving angle of arrival, receiver antenna Spatial correlation, main angle of arrival (Angel-of-Arrival, AoA), average angle of arrival, expansion of AoA, etc.
6、空域准同位(spatial QCL):6. Spatial QCL:
spatial QCL可以认为是QCL的一种类型。对于spatial有两个角度可以理解:从发送端或者从接收端。从发送端来看,如果说两个天线端口是空域准同位的,那么是指这两个天线端口的对应的波束方向在空间上是一致的。从接收端来看,如果说两个天线端口是空域准同位的,那么是指接收端能够在相同的波束方向上接收到这两个天线端口发送的信号。Spatial QCL can be considered as a type of QCL. There are two angles to understand spatial: from the sending end or from the receiving end. From the perspective of the transmitting end, if the two antenna ports are quasi-co-located in the airspace, it means that the corresponding beam directions of the two antenna ports are spatially consistent. From the perspective of the receiving end, if the two antenna ports are spatially quasi-co-located, it means that the receiving end can receive the signals sent by the two antenna ports in the same beam direction.
7、准同位假设(QCL assumption):7. QCL assumption:
是指假设两个端口之间是否具有QCL关系。准同位假设的配置和指示可以用来帮助接收端进行信号的接收和解调。例如接收端能确认A端口和B端口具有QCL关系,即可以将A端口上测得的信号的大尺度参数用于B端口上的信号测量和解调。It means to assume whether there is a QCL relationship between two ports. The configuration and instructions of the quasi-parity hypothesis can be used to help the receiving end in signal reception and demodulation. For example, the receiving end can confirm that the A port and the B port have a QCL relationship, that is, the large-scale parameters of the signal measured on the A port can be used for the signal measurement and demodulation on the B port.
8、天线面板(panel):8. Antenna panel (panel):
